Intro:

Touch the ancient civilization and feel the new Shanxi
Hello everyone, I am Xiao Yan in the Tang Dynasty. There is a very famous poet named Li Mu. He once wrote these two poems. How many floors of the 480 Temple in the Southern Dynasties in the mist and rain
This is described as. Ancient my country during the Northern and Southern Dynasties
Scenes of people building large temples. There were so many temples built at that time. Many monasteries were built in later generations. But in fact, these monasteries. Basically the same. It's nothing more than the Bell and Drum Tower of the Temple of Heavenly Kings at the Mountain Gate
And many temples are built on flat ground. But today I came to a hanging temple. This Hanging Temple is very famous. He is there. On the mountain inside Wuyue Hengshan. This hanging temple is full of many historical stories
And the construction here is very peculiar. He must be different from ordinary monasteries.
